wow-the granny flat here sent price through the roof. Two weeks ago my neighbours put their house on market. They had a nice granny flat built a year ago. Now their main house was a typical weather board place and they have recently been selling for $580-$600k. here in Holsworthy. So...

so awful for the mothers Then execute people who manufacture cigarettes- they knowingly make a product that kills people. Executing human beings is barbaric. In the case of these men I feel it is such a horrible thing to cause such pain to their mothers and siblings. Punish them with a...

the granny thankyou so much everyone. You gave me the information I needed and identified the issues concerning the building of a granny. I need more time to work through these issues as the privacy of the front house will be severely compromised if I go ahead. Good to hear feedback...

I am ready to build a granny flat and would like some referrals. My block meets all regulations and I understand the process and have finance ready but still feel a little uncertain. Access will have to be via my driveway and so I intend to just park my car on front lawn. I am worried about...

holsworthy The houses in Holsworthy are lovely and on big blocks. The train is 40 mins to city and the local primary school is a selective school. Best of all the houses are $550k. If you prefer a brand new house look at Moorebank but it lacks the ambiance of Holsworthy.

ofcourse I had back up. I took my credit card and cash but my point was the new card was promoted in such a manner that one expected it to be of some use and it was not. The idea of the card is to convert your money into the currencies you might need and then toddle off and enjoy your trip...

Qantas sent me their new travel debit card with assurances that it would pave the way to my money being secure and available for my recent trip to Thailand and Cambodia. It was a disaster. I was unable to use it anywhere otherthan one five star hotel and one department store. Luckily my...

glenfield renting hot digidy dog Just a quick catch up Propertunity. Remember I asked about the Glenfield place and bought a 3br villa after your great feedback, well last saturday I had 35 people turn up to view for rent. I was shocked. So I paid $290k and it rents for $350. I did...

thankyou for help Just thought I would let you know I bought the 3br and I feel very lucky to have had this forum to "think aloud" on. Happy with decision. What a fool i am losing money like that . I had not bought anything for a year and so it was scary getting back into investing at my...

holding deposit query Dave, I am not sure about this. I have lost the .25 as I decided not to go ahead. It is a holding deposit. I withdrew before the cooling off period but have been informed that means I forfeit the deposit. If this is incorrect it would be nice for me but I doubt...

facts are useful at times I feel the need to correct the myth about the xmas trees and public schools. I am a teacher in sw sydney (high multicultural student base) and we quite happily had christmas trees in every classroom and in every public school. We also enjoy all of the...

Thankyou so much. The 3br will cost 8k more than the offer I made on the 2br. But that offer is meaningless now as I am not going to buy it. I do not know the value of the 2br one as noone else has put in an offer. My offer on the 3br is 10k more than the vendor's first offer but they...

Have put a hold deposit on a 2br villa with lock up garage but another is available with 3br and carport. Thinking of blowing the .257 whatever deposit and going for the 3br. Any words of wisdom desperately welcome. The villas are the same in all other aspects. Thanks so much.

good advice I got stuck in Adelaide last school holidays due flights all full due footy. after four days there is absolutely nothing to do. I did Harndorf, glenelg (no parking and everything closes at 5-5.30pm), the city (full of bad service and religious crazies), the adelaide hills...

A quick query. If I buy a 50 percent half share of my sister's house, with my name on the title etc, will I have to pay stamp duty again given she has paid it on the original purchase of the house. I think I am wondering if it would be considered a resale of 50 percent of the property and...

holding off too I have been looking at doing this for ten months but have the same reservations as this. i worry about degrading the main property. I also think and indeed know that the rent on the front property would go down alot more than thirty dollars. My house would rent for $450 but...

thanks , I would if I could. The last one was in Albury and the Sydney ones are from over ten years ago and they are no longer available. I did try to contact them. I live near Wattle Grove which is sw sydney. I will phone some asbestos removal people in the phone book tomorrow. I am...

I need a tiler to do my bathroom. It is only about 12m2 job but I have had quotes from $1000 to $4000 for the same job. I'm not stupid and have had lots of bathrooms done and understand the process and how long it takes. I have had every tiler treat me like a fool. (five quotes.) The...
